General Session with Dan Levinson
April 20, 2015

We had yet another jam-packed session with Inspector General Dan Levinson on April 20th. Here are our key takeaways from Dan's talk.

  • Compliance professionals need to understand compliance in a technologically dynamic world. We must be thinking about how to navigate data and turn it into information--not always an easy task.
  • Unfolding payment changes will be key to managing both heathcare in general and compliance in particular, especially given that performance is now a critical part of healthcare reimbursement. At the same time, we as compliance professionals must keep integrity in focus for our peers across our organizations.
  • We need to think more broadly about who our business partners are, including referral relationships, billing, etc.
  • FCA, AKS, and Stark: understand how all these different laws work and how the changes work are an absolute must. These laws continue to evolve. New safe harbors have been created to keep up to date with changing technologies, and it's important for all compliance professionals to be aware of the current law.
  • Let's bring lawyers under the compliance tent to help us look at things from a new perspective.
  • What's important career development for a compliance officer? Social leadership skills! These are of the utmost importance. Personal skills is a must to connect with people across the organization.
